Well I figured it's no different than a page the book is still together fine because the spine is intact but why would I wanna cut out 4 squares out of 4 different pages to ruin 4 whole 8x8 pages to cut out like 3x3 squares out of each. Like u said u couldn't see it much any ways so why ruin all those pages when I have a perfectly good cover. I dunno just what I chose to do but by no means am I making u do that to your pages feel free to cut up 4 pages to stick them down to have the 4 designs if u feel that would be better for you
